 Filenews 29 May 2023 - by Dora Christodoulou



The Pafos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, following the completion of the Special Ecological Assessment Study concerning the Airport – Tourist Area road by the river Ezousa and its submission to the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, expects from the new government and the new competent Minister the good news for this project as well, after the positive development with Marina.

Speaking to "F", the president of the Pafos Chamber of Commerce, George Mais, pointed out that the designer has completed the work assigned to him, while during the study the Chamber proceeded to map the area and the proposed route using drones in order to collect all the necessary data which have been submitted to the Department of Public Works.

"The Special Ecological Assessment Study is now in the hands of the Ministry and we hope that the new leadership of the Ministry will address it as a matter of priority, so that it can be submitted to the Environmental Authority for evaluation," he said. "Within the framework of the evaluation, all involved Departments as well as local stakeholders will be invited to express their views."

We are optimistic, said Mr. Mais, that the new study in combination with the change of course will finally allow the completion of the project. We will, however, await the developments and procedures provided for safe conclusions, he concluded.
